Abstract

This paper describes the performances of mold light guide based see-through optics for the production of AR glasses for commercial and professional applications. A monolithic thin mold light guide with surface structure mirror array extracts and project bright and large virtual image into the user eye of sight. The light guide thin form factor allows a new user experience with two possible positions for the virtual image in front of the user eye. A wireless AR glasses based on this concept will be described and demonstrated. A comparison with others light guide based technologies in term of Safety, Brightness efficiency and form factor will be presented and discussed.
